What teachers say
Fantastic bundle of books
These books are great and terrific for helping me teach these science courses to my students!
Nice supplement to curriculum
This has been a very helpful item for my special education classroom that follows the curriculum in my school.
Great review resource
This is exactly what we were seeking. Needed to loop back through topics that evaporated over the last year or two. Kiddo liked that they added crosswords and word searches.
A Well-Crafted, High Value Resource
The curriculum my school provided was incomplete, and the 25x resources were the perfect addition to providing a higher value of education to my students. The content is high quality and the questions are well-written. I could see how using all the resources would create a consistent education for students, but the similar format may eventually become repetitive. I do plan on holding on to these resources for years to come.
Well organized resource!
I used this to review my students before state testing! It was a great resource! I think next year I will use this to introduce my students to new topics or to reinforce my teaching.
Great Resource for Planning the Year!
I have not used this yet, but have copied my first few units. I used them to plan my entire school year. They match up with the textbook I have which makes it even better. My students love word searches and crossword puzzles as activities. I love the guided notes to go along with the video (which I believe the kids will like). The reading article is especially nice because it fits in with reading standards. Thanks!
Good resource
Great for quick lessons that still have interactive portions for student understanding.
A comprehensive approach to studying earth sciences
The author clearly put a lot of effort into creating this workbook, with all the notes, videos, and interactive elements. The unit list is comprehensive and covers the topics of a standard curriculum nicely. Additionally, the author has a set up AI tutor, which is a powerful bonus today.
Handy Earth Science Refresher!
Handy Earth Science refresher to help you or a student stay on track. The lessons are to the point, which is better than a textbook. Even with the great resources out there. This one is better. It covers plate tectonics, the water cycle, and more. Highly recommend!
The layout supports quick
This updated teacher’s edition is a valuable tool for middle school educators. It offers concise, engaging mini-lessons that simplify complex Earth science topics. The layout supports quick lesson planning and classroom interaction. Ideal for reinforcing key concepts and keeping students curious about geology, weather, and planetary systems.
A great way to learn!
This workbook is a very helpful tool for anyone teaching earth science to middle schoolers. The mix of activities, like fill-in-the-blanks, reflection questions, and even crosswords, keeps it interesting. It’s organized, clear, and doesn't feel too heavy, which makes it easy to use at home or in class. If you're looking for something that makes science a little more fun and a lot more understandable, this is worth checking out.
Essential Resource
I am not currently teaching but if I were this would be an essential resource. I appreciate this workbook for teachers. Lovely pages, images and I love the “Did You Know” facts and figures given. Very interesting. I like the levels of thinking required by the exercises from simple fill-in-the-blank to questions requiring research and higher-order thinking. I hope teachers will use the higher-order thinking items more and rely on the fill-in-the-blanks. This workbook provides options for most levels of students. Well done. Great resources including: “Online video introductions to kick off every lesson, Slide deck for each lesson | Google Classroom compatible AI-powered tutor to guide students through content…”
